Alexander Peli

Alexander Peli (1915–2007) was a Ukrainian-born Israeli encyclopedist, the supervising editor of the ''Encyclopaedia Hebraica''.〔 The project began using his mother's publishing house in 1946 with Peli supervising. The last volume was published in 1996.〔
==Early life==
Alexander Pilipovetsky was born in Kiev to Meir and Bracha Pilipovetsky (born Kutzenok). The parents had married the year before against the Kutzenok family's wishes.〔(Bracha Peli ), Asher Weill, Jewish Women's Archive. accessed October 2009〕 The Pilipovetskys moved at the age of six and he went to high school in Herzliya.〔 In July 1921 his family were early settlers in the new city of Tel Aviv in Palestine〔 (the land that was to become the State of Israel). He attended the University of Jerusalem graduating in History and Philosophy. He had been brought up with encyclopedias. His mother published the eight-volume ''General Enclopedia''. Peli's dream was to create a new encyclopedia in the language of Hebrew.〔 Obituary.〕〔
In 1944 a committee was formed to work out the aims and objectives of a project to create an encyclopedia in Hebrew. In 1948 work was started, and Chaim Weizmann was the first president of the project. He was also to be the first president of the new state of Israel. Peli was appointed supervising editor and the first editor was Prof. Joseph Klausner The plans were drawn up and the first volume covered from Aleph to ''Australia''.
The introduction to the first volume boldly announced that it was planned to complete the encyclopedia project in "five to six years". The breadth and depth of the project was large. One entry for Israel took up a complete volume. When Peli's first editor died, he appointed Benzion Netanyahu in 1948. Netanyaho had been recommended by Klausner, before his death. The encyclopedia continued to be firmly an Israeli publication. Netanyahu, who was to remain editor until 1962, was the father of a future Israeli prime minister.
The third editor that Peli appointed was possibly the most controversial. Professor Yeshayahu Leibowitz caused some delays with his arguments about content, although Leibowitz was difficult outside as well as within the project team.
It was not until 1980 that another editor, Professor Prawer, managed to declare the encyclopedia as complete. Even after that date it took five years to publish an index, and there was always a need for amendments.
In 1986, Peli's mother, who owned the publishing house, died. She left half the business to Alexander and half to his sister's family. The businesses did not prosper, and the rights to the encyclopedia was sold in 1997.〔
